Watching these on TH-cam you realize how many obtrusive ads are on legacy outlets
Some store brands really do good product selection. When Lidl carries something I want in their store brand, it is my first choice. But, as with all branding, reputation is key. Stores that are inconsistent with their brands or who offer low quality will only sell to people who have no choice. The business sure has come a long way. I remember the generic era. And the first "Jewel" store brands in the Chicago area. They were bad. Stale bread products. Vegetables with all sorts of stems and wilted pieces.
In Norway, store brands compete between stores and that has increased quality. In some cases quite dramatically.
Please do a follow up episode that looks at Amazon Essential as a model similar to this.
2 years ago I bought a lot of store brand, and just bought a name brand occasionally to compare. Then the store brand started putting less product and more water in their packages. Now I buy name brand and only sporadically buy a store brand just to compare. I do not know why the store brand quality is so poor today.
Kirkland !
Friend Of The Family Stan is a perfectly fine alternative brand of fried rice.
Mmmmm. Serviceable beans.
Kroger has its dairy products come from Jackson Dairy out of Hutchinson, Kansas.
Surely varies with the region. It's expensive to haul water. Er, milk.
Is #4 toothpaste manufacturer in all of Kazakhstan!
Lead time is too long.
What do you mean
@@markfelthousen8790 Long Intro.
@@beth3535 I have always loved their production elements, tease and how they build up the theme of the episode. They really establish and lay down the foundation of their arguments. I love it.
Just discovered these podcasts. Very informative.
Food Lion used to have the best generic brands. Then about a year ago the quality fell off a cliff.
Normally I love premium brand ice cream, but President's Choice Rocky Road is so far better than many of the national brands available at grocery stores in Canada. I think that I might even be paying a higher price than Chapman's and others.
